OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS OF FARMVILLE
ORGANIZATIONS DURING THE CURRENT YEAR!
The nineteen patriotic, fraternal,
civic and social groups of Farmville,
have all, in their various branches of
service, done most effective work
here during the past year, promoting
the development of citizens along
every conceivable line, and fostering
worthy movements in the community
which were creditable and praise
worthy.
Today there is a more enthusiastic
and intelligent consciousness of the
necessity for cooperative endeavor
along patriotic, humanitarian, civic
and cultural lines, than ever before,
and each one of these organizations
has a growing appreciation of its
responsibility and duty in building
good citizens for Farmville, and is
zealously engaged in the furtherance
of plans and efforts bearing towards
this worthy goal.
In keeping with the purpose of
this issue of "The Spotlight," to bring
current events before its readers
rather than historical data, some of
ficial of each of the following or
ganizations was requested to give a
short outline of its outstanding acti
vities and accomplishments during
recent months.
Farmvillc Literary Club
Since its organization thirty years
ago the purpose of this club, which
is the oldest woman's group in town,
with the exception of the church so
cieties, has been two fold; a broader
outlook along literary lines for its
members, and a deep interest in edu
cational advantages for others.
A recent study of books of travel,
as outlined by Urban T. Holmes, in
cluded music of the various countries,
with an illustrated lecture on his
visits to the Holy Land, by Rev.
Stephen Gardner, of Washington; a
talk by the president, Miss Annie
Perkins, relative to her trip to Cuba;
a lecture by Mrs. Agnes Settle, of
Greenville, regarding her travels
through Japan; a talk was made, by
Mrs. T. C. Turnage, concerning the
history of Flora MacDonald and of
the college, bearing her name at
Red Springs, N. C., and her own
# Alma Mater; an account of their
visit to the World's Fair, at Chicago,
by Misses Elizabeth and Janie Davis;
by Mrs. J. W. Joyner, who spoke on
her recent visit to Texas, and by
Miss Edna Robinson on California.
To the limited membership of
twenty was added a former member,
Mrs. Minnie S. Warren. National
and State Federation dues were met,
including a contribution to the Sally
Southall Loan Fund, a student loan
fund, in which this group has been
particularly interested, formerly con
tributing $100 annually. Contribu
tions were also made to local pro
jects, including twenty books of bio
graphy, fiction and history, to the
Farmville Library, which were circu
lated among the club members dur
ing the club year. The club was
assisted in the annual Tuberculosis
Christmas Seal sale by the Woman's
and Junior Woman's clubs.
The officers reelected to serve an
other term before adjournment for
the summer months were: Miss An
nie Perkins, president, Mrs. J. B.
Joyner, vice-president, Mrs. J. L.
Shackleford, secretary, Mrs. J. I.
Morgan, treasurer.
The program for the new club
year, beginning in September, win
be divided into five subjects: Litera
ture, Art, Music, Citizenship, and
Home Decoration, with four meetings
devoted to each.

More than twenty marketing agree

The average interest rates of the
various credit institutions for farm
loans is about 5 per cent; prior to
the establishment of these institu
tions in many instances the rate ac
tually paid was above 10 per cent,
and one survey shows that farmers
in certain sections paid over 20 per
cent on cash loans.

MAIN STREET, FARMVILLE, ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON
There's Something
about a
Soldier
.... that causes femine hearts to
flutter. If it's the uniform the
girls wouldn't be so admiring if
they saw them after a hard drill.
So it must be the way the uniform
LOOKS. Fits like a glove,
trousers neatly creased?but say!
if that's what it is there's going
to be "Something about" a lot of
men in this town, because they're
buying our New Fall Suits every
day?They, fit like a glove and
hold a crease like iron!
